Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Mixed Week With Wii U Third-Party Support

IIaprghwrughapiw

The lack of hype for the Wii U for Wii U already latched on to the other consoles (Not really latching, it's just less excitement for all of them). People actually think they mean big time trouble for Nintendo?

Most casual consumers will not see the point in buying a new console that has no obvious defining new features other than better graphics, and new games (Unless there's a crazy killer-app like Wii Sports).

I predict all 3 will have bad start due to the horrendous state of the economy, and perhaps lack of decent advertising and publishers being too afraid of putting games on there.

Why do people think that if it doesn't sell like the Wii, it'll sell like the gamecube?

Nintendo has gained tons of hardcore fans from the wii. Just ask on Miiverse what console people had during 6th gen, most I've asked said PS2, and no gamecube. How did they gain fans? Since the Wii was a must have, people who got PS2 and then got Wii (because they must've got what was hot at the time) and started to get much more attached to gaming.

It might sound like this has no significance, but I'm certain Nintendo has gained a plethora of new fans from the Wii, even of it meant losing some "hardcore dudebros real gamers".

Re: Senior EA Employee Caught Out Criticising Wii U On Twitter

I can handle criticism, but this is just lies and exaggerations.

I don't even think that this can be stretched to even the broadest definition of opinion.

This is what he declares as fact. Yes, people say "this is good" as in "I like it" even though those are two different things. I don't know if he's getting paid or whatever, but these unprofessional comments were a completely stupid action to take. Not just opinion, I think people can generally agree with me on that.

Re: Miiverse: Super Metroid - Too Taxing For Today's Gamers?

@RetroGBHippie92 It was a joke. The internet always assumes since I'm using satire I'm suddenly a troll.

So what if I use walkthroughs (I don't. Seriously, I don't, I'm speaking hypothetically)? Am I inferior to the race of humans that don't use walkthroughs, or the ones that were born in the 80's?

I was just commenting on the inconsiderate, and frankly ignorant comment that you made. Kids these days are not lazy, and kids these days are not stupid. You're not better than them. Just because they play less video games, and never played retro games like these does not make them inferior "gamers"

So much negativity in the comments. Don't you think you guys are being too hard on these guys. Not to mention this is only a select group, not all children have trouble with this genre.

They've never played this genre. The closest thing they might've played is Mario. You guys are acting like "DAY SUD NO GAMERING LOGIC BY NOW, DOSE NUMBSKULLS". Really? "Kid's these days sure are dumb"

Gaming Elitism.

These players are not you, they were not born during your time, they do not have your logic, and they haven't played this genre.

Re: Thomas Was Alone Creator Responds To Nintendo Claiming "Let's Play" Video Revenue

@grenworthshero "This is fanboyism at its worst."

How can LP's be 10x harder than original content? Yes, playing a game takes time, but so does original content creation. Look at freddiew. His videos are original (yes, parodies included), and let's guess how hard that is.

We aren't freddiew, but surely we can also put as much hard work and quality into vids that aren't lp's.

@rjejr That sounds abosulely horrible.

The control scheme, and not to mention they'll be no use of the 3D (Unless they use gamecube controls, which is limited compared to Wiimote and touchscreen controllers). An HDMI port would mess up the shape, and they'd have to make a new system entirely.
